based on current knowledge of the most
ancient manuscripts, that has set it

The classic King James Version (KJV),
beloved by generations of Bible readers,
was first published in England in 1611.
Commissioned by King James I, it was the
achievement of nearly fifty translators,
who over four years revised the Bishop’s
Bible in the light of available Greek
and Hebrew documents as well as other
contemporary European translations. The
result was the first Authorized Version,
known to Americans as the King James
Version. Subsequent editions corrected
early misprints, modernized some
spellings, and standardized features
such as punctuation and italicization.
The most famous revisions include the
Cambridge edition of 1762, the Oxford
edition of 1769 and Dr. F.H.A.
Scrivener’s Cambridge Paragraph Bible of
1873. Zondervan uses the Scrivener
edition for its KJV Bibles.
The New International Version (NIV) is
today’s most popular and most trusted
English Bible translation. Since its
release in 1973, the NIV has sold over
160 million copies. The goal of the NIV
translation team was to produce a
contemporary translation whose accuracy,
clarity and literary quality would make
it ideal for public and private reading,
teaching, preaching, memorizing and
liturgical use. Today the NIV is
accepted by over 60 denominations--more
than any other translation--and is
supported by a library of reference
resources unmatched by any other
translation
